How Long Can We Wait on Chance?

[News]

I have been the biggest Chance the Rapper fan for as long as I can remember. The raspy, smoke-filled lines delivered in Acid Rap were the first thing to draw me into the world of rap. From there I was hooked. Coloring Book? A masterpiece in my mind. It was a different feel than Acid Rap, but was a Chance album through and through.

However, that was a little over two years ago. How much longer can Chance fans, and the rest of the rap community wait for an album? He has dropped singles in the meantime I know (listen to “I Might Need Security,” “The Man Who Has Everything,” etc.), but they are mediocre at best. Measured against any other rapper on the scene right now, except Kendrick, Drake, J Cole, and maybe a few others, the songs would be great, however we are talking about Chance the Rapper who, upon the release of Coloring Book, was arguably the best rapper out.

Chance has been teasing the release of a couple of new albums ever since the release of Coloring Book. There was talk of a collaborative album with Childish Gambino. Nowhere to be found. There was talk, video, and confirmation from Chance the Rapper and Kanye West of a Ye produced album titled “Good Ass Job”. Still not here. Where is the music Chance?

He should take this as a compliment. We are ready for his new music. The question isn’t if people want Chance’s new album, it is a question of how long are people willing to wait? Leave an audience alone for too long and they will leave, despite their desire to see what they came for. Plenty of rappers like Travis Scott, Drake, and J Cole have dropped highly-praised albums, or even two, in the time it has taken Chance the Rapper to release a new album.

I know he has been busy doing countless fundraisers and activities for social good, and I, and those he has helped immensely, are so grateful for the work that he has been doing; however, if it’s not too much to ask, we need Chance the RAPPER. Please come back.
